We performed a comparison between Cisco Nexus and Juniper QFX Series Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Center Networking solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"The consolidation of all of the layer two ports into one rack is very valuable."
"It has improved our organization because we have aggregated ports, we're able to put multiple agencies on the multiple different interfaces that we have going there. We're able to separate them out with the use of VLANs and whatnot."
"We used older versions of Cisco Cloud. The reason why we switched was just adapting with the times."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Cisco Nexus is very safe and stable. I've been here 8 months. We have some devices that have been out for 11 years."
"The scalability of the solution is well beyond anything I would ever need."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"It's really easy to replicate rules. It's the one that I've used; it was CLI-based. You can implement a large set of rules with CLI. You can just copy a script and add additional changes to the source and destination on the part. And so it's easy to do large zone-based rules."
"Juniper QFX Series Switches provide a good platform for all of our hardware and are easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the VxLAN and the EVPN."
"EVPN-VXLAN feature offers the most benefits."
"It's a stable solution."
"The QFX series is a good choice for large data centers, particularly for Spine-Leaf architectures."
"The operating system needs to be improved. There should be stability in the operating system, and it should not have as many vulnerabilities."
"The code quality for this solution has gotten worse and needs improvement."
"As a device meant to lead the processes related to networking and troubleshooting, I feel both aspects can be described as areas with certain concerns where improvements are required."
"I would like to see some development into the SAE world where you can virtualize. That would be the only thing I would like to see because I need to start virtualizing my infrastructure gear at some of the other data centers that I have."
"The scalability can be improved."
"The product could be updated more frequently for other phone model support."
"I would like to see better collaboration with other, low-end devices."
"I would like to see a lighter platform."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model. It is too high."
"I faced issues with the deployment and upgrade. In the QFX5110 series, features like ISSU and DSSQ should be improved. Upgrades should be smoother."
"Integrating QFX switches was the first point of challenge."
"The price could be cheaper."
"There have been some issues sometimes. When you upgrade the device, it doesn't come up. It gets stuck."
